ebay - cheap listing days?

matalanifesto

i've been a member of ebay for a while now, and love to take advantage of their discounted listing days. most of the time i miss them, or log on the same day and dont have the time to take pictures, creates listings etc!

just wondering if maybe there is a page that lists upcoming cheap listing days? ive tried searching "5p listing" "cheap listing" and other variations on their help pages, but cant find anything.

sorry of this has already been posted!

There is a free gallery thing going on from the 19th May I think.. until some time in July.. saves 15p on a gallery image

Otherwise the homepage on eBay usually says about upcoming cheap days.. I don't know of any myself.

I'm sure the free gallery is until 30 September!! :j

I still don't get the whole cheap listing day mania. Insertion fees are so cheap anyway, that there is not much to save in the first place. Final value fees are the big money earner for ebay, and they are not affected by any promotion. Besides, an extra 750,000 to 1,000,000 listings appearing each cheapy day only dilutes final selling prices, and makes searching and browsing a lot more difficult. You may save a pound or two on front end fees, but you stand to lose a LOT more by deflated prices.

The smart way to save money during these days is either to buy up bargains to resell, or play for the relist fees with non-selling listings.

Thanks for posting that word for word twice in two days Steve:beer:

It was for the benefit of the OP, rather than anyone else, but once again, thanks for your close attention to my work...

Flattering.

I had thought of having some standard replies myself actually ready to cut and paste due to the frequency that similar questions get asked. Might not be a bad idea to copy Steve's example.

Due to the fast moving nature of posts on this board, and the frequency of certain questions, I tend to bookmark a few posts.

I think this is actually the 4th or 5th time I've posted that comment!
